Oh Wow, How Embarrassing Sorta Kinda

Well, me, my daughter-in-law and my grandson were all in a big mall yesterday. I wanted to stop by M.A.C for lipstick before going to Pandora and then we'd have lunch. Stopped at M.A.C and the associates were very busy. No use standing there especially with a very active two year old toddler so we went on to Pandora where it too was busier than hen's teeth. SO...we went on the the food court and had lunch. A Philly cheese steak but with chicken. Surprisingly good. After that, we headed back to see if things had calmed down.

I stopped at the makeup counter as we made our way from lunch, and started telling the ladies about the lipstick color I wanted and its name. They could not find it and went through a lot of trouble for me. I went through all kinds of talk describing the shade I wanted. They kept looking for it sure they'd find it. Daughter-in-law said "Don't you want to be at M.A.C. counter"? I said "yes" and she pointed to the Lancome sign. Oh how embarrassing and how funny. I laughed so hard and apologized for the trouble I put them through. M.A.C.was next door to them so I squirmed off in that direction and got my lipstick. I see the price went up to $18.00 a tube instead of the $14.00 I was used to! I may have to re-think my lipstick. It was embarrassing but I am still laughing.

Got a new charm for my Pandora bracelet that one of my sons started for me. This one is starry sky..there are three varieties of that charm. I chose the one consisting of two parts, a gorgeous shade of blue disc as a background for sparkling stars that will overlay the disc.

Dearest Carole,Well, that was not too bad for really feeling embarrassed! Don't worry but laugh it off. We are getting older and it shows more when a younger person is with us...Sending you hugs and love your Pandora bracelet! Don't let Katie get it...Mariette

Hehe, I know the feeling. I once complained more than I should have on the telephone that a department store's pharmacy didn't have my prescription on file. After I hung up, I realised that I had called the wrong store, and that there was no reason they should have had a prescription for me. I haven't called that store again...

Steep for a tube of lipstick but then you are getting a brand name.I have not shopped in a mall in ages.. we are talking YEARS...no transportation any more and no interest I guess. Malls and plazas or shopping centers here are dwindling sad to say. Glad you had fun..two year olds are excited over a lot.. :-)

lipstick? I cant wear that stuff. It would be smeared all over me with in an hour.Mascara. Give me lots of mascaraYour charm bracelet is very pretty. I have never heard of M.A.C. or Pandora.The rain is supposed to come here, but I am going to zip around this morning to get my butt out of here and go to Purcellville and buy some more fabricand on the way home procure kitty food and random groceries

that IS funny about the lipstick! I just use good 'ol Color Stay by Revlon from the drug store, I love it! Also, LOVE your Pandora! I have one too but haven't added any charms since the original ones my husband got me. uh-oh!! lol
